Doug
Shortridge is the majority stockholder
and President of LCS, Inc. As a
licensed contractor Doug owned
and operated a plumbing/boiler/fireprotection
company in the North Bay concentrating
heavily on public works construction.
For over a decade, Doug’s company
worked on many school projects as
both sub, prime, and multi-prime
contractor. Due to this experience,
Doug Shortridge learned about the
various ways in which different prime
contractors, CMs, and Awarding Bodies
manage their projects. During this
tenure, Doug's company also experienced
a wide range of market-impacting
prevailing wage issues including
a long-term wage dispartiy problem
in which the unionized competitors
were inadvertently paying a rate
of only 75% of the prevailing wage. Today,
this past experience supports a flexible
attitude regarding the different
styles of contractors working under
the authority of a labor compliance
program as well as a deep understanding
of the benefits, drawbacks, problems
and solutions of the prevailing wage
system. As a subject matter expert,
Doug's intellectual capital base
is unmatched due to the unique background
and experience which has prepared
him for, and led him to, this emerging
field of privatized labor law enforcement.
